BBC Technology - Fast Track

Professor Izzat Darwazeh, Head of the Communication and Information Systems Group and his Research Associate Dr Manoj Thakur and PhD student George Smart, featured in a recent BBC technology programme called Fast Track. Filming took place in the new UCL-Aeroflex Lab where Prof Darwazeh and his team tested a tablet device in both aeroplane and non-aeroplane mode to see whether such devices can affect flights. Using electronic devices during take-off and landing is currently banned on flights but recently a New York Times journalist has campaigned for the ban to be lifted.
